SQL Server monitor

Posted by Karthick P.K on May 11, 2013

Every SQL Server DBA would have faced situations similar to SQL Server not accepting connections for few minutes, SQL Server not responding for few minute or Applications not able to connect with SQL Server for few minutes. Before DBA’s gets alerted about the situation and starts troubleshooting the issue everything becomes normal. Challenge in this situations is it becomes very difficult to understand where the underlying problem was, It could be a network connectivity, Application server problem or It might be an issue with SQL Server itself. How do we collect diagnostic data to prove that SQL Server was stable at the time of issue (or) If the issue is with SQL Server then how to collect data we need for diagnosing the issue?

 

You can use SQL Monitor to monitor SQL Server instances

SQL Server Monitoring exe monitors the SQL Server services and creates diagnostic data and memory dump if SQL Server service is down (or) If SQL Server is not accepting connections (or) If SQL Server is not responding to Queries

How it works?

SQL Monitor checks the SQL Server in 3-Phases

1. Check the status of all the SQL Server service through the windows service control manager every 60 seconds.

2. If the service is running then check if SQL Server is accepting connections every 60 seconds.

3. If SQL Server is accepting Connections then probe to perform a simple query and see if SQL Server is responding properly.

4. If any of the SQL Server is not accepting Connections then connect to SQL Server using DAC, take a filtered stack dump which will be stored in errorlog directory of the instance , executes custom diagnostic script (c:\sqlmonitor\failoveranalysis.sql) and stores the output in c:\SQLmonitor\ with name “Servername+instancename.txt” which can be used to identify if there is any issue in SQL Server.

5. Once dump is taken release the DAC connection and wait for some time before we attempt to connect again. If connection is successful during subsequent attempt SQLMonitor.exe will continue monitoring the instance but if the connection fails again a new dump is generated and new diagnostic data is collected and appended to Servername+instancename.txt file in SQLMonitor folder.

There will be a gap of X minute between each diagnostic data and stack dump collection when the issue is continuing where X is (Number of Diagnostic data/dump already collected for this instance  * Number of Diagnostic data/dump already collected for this instance)

 

How to Configure?

1. Create a folder called SQLMonitor in C:\

2. Create a Text file called serverlist.txt  and enter all the SQL Servers in your environment to be monitored in below format.

Format:

Servername [TAB] Servicename;

Ex:

Server1 MSSQLServer;

Server2 MSSQL$Prod;

3. Invoke command prompt and open SQLmonitor.EXE.

Advantage:

1. Multi-threaded each server and service is verified using its own thread so retrieving information from one server will not affect the pooling interval to other server.

2. Single exe can be scaled to monitor more than 1000 servers and 1000 services.

3. Uses few MB of memory and system resources.

Requirements:

1. This exe can be invoked from any of the client systems with SQL Server client tools and SQL native clients installed.

2. Remote DAC connection has to be enabled in SQL Servers which are monitored.

3. EXE should be invoked under credential of user who has access to all the SQL Servers which are monitored and permission to view service control manager of windows servers in which SQL Server is running.

You can Download SQLMonitor.exe from this link

Inside sys.dm_os_ring_buffers

Posted by Karthick P.K on March 29, 2013

Sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV can be used to troubleshoot connectivity errors, track exceptions, monitor system health, memory pressure, Non-yielding/Deadlocked schedulers and a lot more.

You can use below scripts to query the data from sys.dm_os_ring_buffers during troubleshooting.

Non-yielding IOCP Listener, Non-yielding Scheduler and non-yielding resource monitor known issues and fixes

Posted by Karthick P.K on August 21, 2012

Do you see below errors in SQL error along with dumps and stuck?

Non-yielding IOCP Listener

* BEGIN STACK DUMP:
*   05/06/12 03:54:59 spid 0
* Non-yielding IOCP Listener

Non-yielding Scheduler
* BEGIN STACK DUMP:
*   04/16/12 10:09:58 spid 6256
* Non-yielding Scheduler

Non-yielding Resource Monitor

* BEGIN STACK DUMP

*   01/22/09 19:11:16 spid 0

* Non-yielding Resource Monitor

External dump process returned no errors.
Date Time Server Process 0:0:0 (0x31e8) Worker 0x000000016F41d140 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 4. Thread creation time: 12010668087858. Approx Thread CPU Used: kernel 2 ms, user 60516 ms. Process Utilization 11%. System Idle 83%. Interval: 71227 ms.

Refer “How to analyze Non-Yielding scheduler or Non-yielding IOCP Listener dumps”  for analyzing the Non-yielding Scheduler, Non-yielding IOCP Listener and Non-yielding Resource Monitor Dumps.

If you are interested in just finding a quick resolution follow the below steps to get the Non-Yield stack from the dump and check if it is matching with any existing known issues in SQL Server. 

To analyze the dump download and Install Windows Debugger from This  link

Step 1:

Open Windbg

step 2:

Choose File menu –> select Open crash dump –>Select the Dump file (SQLDump000#.mdmp)

Step 3:

on command window type    
.sympath srv*c:\Websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;

Step 4:

Type .reload /f and hit enter. This will force debugger to immediately load all the symbols.

Step 5:

Type  .cxr sqlservr!g_copiedStackInfo+0X20   for SQL Server2005 and SQL Server2008/2008R2  (or)   .cxr sqlmin!g_copiedStackInfo+0X20  for SQL Server2012.

Type kc 100 and look at the stack to see if it matches with the stack of any of known issues in SQL Server listed below.

If kc 100 doesn’t display any stack and throws “WARNING: Frame IP not in any known module. Following frames may be wrong”  type .cxr to reset to default scope and try  .cxr sqlservr!g_copiedStackInfo+0X00c (In 32-Bit (X86)  SQL server valid offset for context is 0X00c Look at This blog to see how we identified the offset)

Note:If your stack doesn’t match with any of the stack  listed below then paste the stack in comments session of this blog (or) In This face book group.We will try to find the cause for you. If you don’t get any prompt reply from the community, you may need to open a support ticket with Microsoft.

How to move the LOB data from one file group to other?

Posted by Karthick P.K on January 17, 2012

 

We do not have a direct way to move the LOB data from one file group to other. Using ALTER TABLE and/or CREATE INDEX to support moving LOB data is unavailable till current version of  SQL (SQL Server 2008).

 

Only way to move the LOB data is to

1. create new table in new file group

2. Move the data from existing table to new table.

3. Drop the existing table.

4. Change the name of new table to Old table.

Management studio has easy way to create script for all the above task.

1. In management studio Right click the table –>Design –>change the file group in properties windows (Click View—> properties window if you do not see properties window)

2. Generate Change Script.

clip_image002

3. Script similar to following script is generated.

4. Copy the script and run in Query window.

 

/* To prevent any potential data loss issues, you should review this script in detail before running it outside the context of the database designer.*/

BEGIN TRANSACTION

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

SET ARITHABORT ON

SET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF

SET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

SET ANSI_PADDING ON

SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON

COMMIT

BEGIN TRANSACTION

GO

CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_BLOB_TABLE

                (

                BLOBName varchar(100) NULL,

                BLOBData varbinary(MAX) NULL

                )  ON [PRIMARY]

                TEXTIMAGE_ON Lob2

GO

ALTER TABLE dbo.Tmp_BLOB_TABLE SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = TABLE)

GO

IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.BLOB_TABLE)

                EXEC(‘INSERT INTO dbo.Tmp_BLOB_TABLE (BLOBName, BLOBData)

                                SELECT BLOBName, BLOBData FROM dbo.BLOB_TABLE WITH (HOLDLOCK TABLOCKX)’)

GO

DROP TABLE dbo.BLOB_TABLE

GO

EXECUTE sp_rename N’dbo.Tmp_BLOB_TABLE’, N’BLOB_TABLE’, ‘OBJECT’

Linked server connection fails with “An error occurred during decryption”

Posted by Karthick P.K on January 9, 2012

We might get Error: 15466, Severity: 16, State: 2  An error occurred during decryption while installing Projects servers (or) Sending mails using database mail (or) Linked server connections might fail with Msg 15593, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Linked server connection fails with below error

{

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
——————————
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
——————————
An error occurred during decryption. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15466)

Msg 15593, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

An error occurred while decrypting the password for linked login ‘distributor_admin’ that was encrypted by the old master key. The error was ignored because the FORCE option was specified.

}

Database mail might fail with below error

{

Set mail server login password failed for MailServer ‘Domain’.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

An error occurred during decryption. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15466)

}

Or

You notice below errors in SQL Server errorlogs

spid10s Error: 15581, Severity: 16, State: 3.
Please create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session before performing this operation.

Cause

SQL Server service account was changed from services control manager (or) service master key was not backed up and restored when migrating SQL Server to another computer domain.

{

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187788.aspx

To change the SQL Server service account, use SQL Server Configuration Manager. To manage a change of the service account, SQL Server stores a redundant copy of the service master key protected by the machine account that has the necessary permissions granted to the SQL Server service group. If the computer is rebuilt, the same domain user that was previously used by the service account can recover the service master key. This does not work with local accounts or the Local System, Local Service, or Network Service accounts. When you are moving SQL Server to another computer, migrate the service master key by using backup and restore.

The REGENERATE phrase regenerates the service master key. When the service master key is regenerated, SQL Server decrypts all the keys that have been encrypted with it, and then encrypts them with the new service master key. This is a resource-intensive operation. You should schedule this operation during a period of low demand, unless the key has been compromised. If any one of the decryptions fail, the whole statement fails.

The FORCE option causes the key regeneration process to continue even if the process cannot retrieve the current master key, or cannot decrypt all the private keys that are encrypted with it. Use FORCE only if regeneration fails and you cannot restore the service master key by using the RESTORE SERVICE MASTER KEY statement.

}

 

Resolution

Regenerate the service master key using ALTER SERVICE MASTER KEY REGENERATE

If you receive the following error message when running ALTER SERVICE MASTER KEY REGENERATE.

{

The current master key cannot be decrypted. If this is a database master key, you should attempt to open it in the session before performing this operation. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation but the data encrypted by the old master key will be lost.

}

We are left with only option to force regenerating service master key using “ALTER SERVICE MASTER KEY FORCE REGENERATE “.

Note:The service master key is the root of the SQL Server encryption hierarchy. The service master key directly or indirectly protects all other keys and secrets in the tree. If a dependent key cannot be decrypted during a forced regeneration, the data the key secures will be lost.

My “c:\” Drive gets full when I open the profiler trace

Posted by Karthick P.K on July 16, 2011

Profiler filling up space of my system drive…….

When you run the profiler trace (GUI) or open the saved profiler trace file your System Drive gets out of space

SQL Server profile uses ‘TMP’ Environment variable for storing the .Trc and trace replay files

$29BC399D487DBB17 

By default TMP directory points to your system drive, so when we open a large profiler trace file or capture trace in GUI mode system drive gets full.

We can workaround this by changing the TMP environment variable. Changing TMP environment variable system wide can cause other issues so I would recommend changing TMP temporarily for the process

1. Open command prompt

SET TMP=G:\TMP

$130609A642FEC889

2. Open the profiler from command prompt

>Profiler90.exe         –>SQL Server2005

>Profiler.exe             –>SQL Server2008

>Mysavedtracefile.trc –>Open a saved tracefile

$4C3BC270A299D0A3

This would make profiler use G:\TMP  for saving temporary data. So your c:\ would never get full.

Beyond XP_READERRORLOG (Parameters of XP_READERRORLOG)

Posted by Karthick P.K on February 13, 2011

Parameters which would be useful when you run xp_readerrorlog or sp_readerrorlog

XP_READERRORLOG

 

Syntax:

xp_readerrorlog -> Reads the current SQL Server errorlog

xp_readerrorlog 3 -> Reads SQL Server errorlog “errorlog.3”

xp_readerrorlog -1, 2 -> Reads the current SQL Agent errorlog

xp_readerrorlog 3, 2 -> Reads the SQL Agent errorlog No 3 archive

xp_readerrorlog -1, 2, “ab” -> Reads the current SQL Agent errorlog but returns only those lines that contain the string “ab”

xp_readerrorlog 1, 2, “ab”, “cd” -> Reads the SQLAgent errorlog No 1 archive but returns only those lines that contain the strings
“ab” AND “cd” lines that contain the strings “ab” AND “cd”

xp_readerrorlog [-1 – n], 3, database_id, fulltext_catalog_id -> Reads full
text crawl log

Note:The second INT param is LogType. 1 = SQLServer logs, 2 = SQLAgent logs, 3 =
full text logs(SQLServer log is the default)
Additionally, the last 3 parameters (parameters 5, 6, 7) are used for Date/Time
filtering and ordering

xp_readerrorlog -1, 1, NULL, NULL, ‘2004-09-01’, ‘2004-09-02’, [‘asc’ | ‘desc’]
-> Reads the current SQL Server error log entries starting from midnight of 2004-09-01 until midnight of 2004-09-02.
Time can be included too. The date-time can be in any format recognizable by SQL server.
The last parameter specifies the datetime order that the entries are returned in. ‘asc’ or no
parameter is used for the normal, ascending, order. ‘desc’ is used to return entries in reverse order,
newest entries first.

Note:Also, to increase the number of log files, add a new registry key “NumErrorLogs” (REG_DWORD) under below location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQL.X\MSSQLServer\
By default, this key is absent. Modify the value to the number of logs that you want to maintain.

Note: Some operations such as alter column will drop and recreate table. Ensure you do not abort SSMS while operation in progress. You might loose the table. I would recommend

script the changes and and run script in query window (or) At least review the script before you save changes using SSMS.

Thanks

We do not see the SQL server and SQL Agent status from management studio. When we right click the instance, start, stop and resume options is disabled.

Posted by Karthick P.K on June 20, 2010

From  management studio we do not see the SQL server and SQL Agent status. When we right click the instance, start, stop and resume options is disabled.

 

1. Check if are running the management studio with elevated permissions (Right click SSMS—>Run as administrator)

 

2. WMI Permission could be a cause. Enable below permission in WMI.

 

–Open Dcomcnfg

–Expand Component Service -> Computers -> My computer

–Right-click and go to the Properties of My Computer

–Select the COM Security Tab

–Click on "Edit Limits"

–Under launch and activation permissions : Add both Startup account of SQLServer service and Logged on windows account.

 

 

–On the Start menu on, click Run.

–Type wmimgmt.msc, and then click OK.

–In the Windows Management Infrastructure program, right-click WMI Control (Local), and then click Properties.

–In the WMI Control (Local) Properties dialog box, select Security tab, expand Root, and then click CIMV2.

–Click Security to open the Security for ROOT\CIMV2 dialog box. Add startup account of SQLServer service and Windows Logon account and select Remote Enable permission.

 

 

3. Use the following command to give rights to query service .

 

subinacl /SERVICE MSSQL$SQLINST /GRANT=everyone

 

NOTE: MSSQL$SQLINST > Replace With your SQLServer service name.

 

 

4. We can use below command to reset the Security policy to default.

 

secedit /configure /cfg C:\WINDOWS\inf\defltsv.inf /db defltsv.sdb /verbose

 

–>If you still have the same error even after running this.

 

5. We can ran the following WMI query to check if we get any errors:

Select * from Win32_service where name="SQLServiceName"

 

 

Steps to check SQL Service status from WMI:

–Open “WBEMTEST”

–Connect to    “root\cimv2”

–Click on notification Query

–Run the below query

–SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance isa ‘Win32_Service’

–Stop SQLAgent or SQLServer service

–check if you get notification query:

 

 

6. Run the below Port query and check  if any of Instance is misidentified as cluster

 

a. "IsClustered "    Should be no

b.Check browser properties to see if it Standalone

 

7.Compare the HOST name ,select serverproperty (‘servername’)  , and select @@Servername

All the above three has to match.

–> If query “select serverproperty (‘servername’)” returns wrong name

 

Check the environment variable’s and see if we have below variables defined. Below keys should be present only for clustered SQLServer and  Key  "_CLUSTER_NETWORK_NAME_" should have SQLVirtual server name in case of cluster and this Environment variable should not be present for Standalone instance.

 

_CLUSTER_NETWORK_DOMAIN_=XXXXXXXXXXXX

_CLUSTER_NETWORK_FQDN_=XXXXXXXXXXXX

_CLUSTER_NETWORK_HOSTNAME_=XXXXXXXXXXXX

_CLUSTER_NETWORK_NAME_=XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

Note: Environment variable will be defined for service under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSSQL$InstanceName\Environment

“Value cannot be null” when i connect SQL Server from SSMS

Posted by Karthick P.K on May 26, 2010

I get this below when I connect to SQL Server using SSMS…… What should i do?

Error

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: viewInfo (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlStudio.Explorer)

Resolution

Right click SSMS   “run as administrator”   🙂

If the “run as administrator doesn’t resolve the problem verify if %Temp% environment variable to set properly for the logged on widows account

If %Temp% is not set properly in environment variables we might end up with error.

How to add an IP Address when we Add new NIC to node where SQLServer2005 instance is running.

Posted by Karthick P.K on April 14, 2009

The only possible way to add an IP to SQLServer2005 after adding new NIC to the
node where SQLServer2005 is installed (or) After adding second ip address to
existing NIC is to either manually edit the registry or run Service pack/Hotfix setup again.
The only possible way to add an IP to SQLServer2005 after adding new NIC to the
node where SQLServer2005 is installed (or) After adding second ip address to
existing NIC is

Option1

Manually edit the registry

1. Add a new registry key under
HKLM\software\microsoft\microsoftSQLServer\mssql.1\mssqlserver\supersocketnetlib\tcp
for IP2

simplest way to make it is export the Key

HKLM\software\microsoft\microsoftSQLServer\mssql.1\mssqlserver\supersocketnetlib\tcp
,

Open the exported file using the notepad and Copy the Following string ,make
required changes(Modify the IPAddress,IPn.. Ie: n stands for number of IP and MSSQL.N Ie nstands for instance ID )

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.X\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp\IPn]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000
“Active”=dword:00000001
“TcpPort”=””
“TcpDynamicPorts”=””
“DisplayName”=”Specific IP Address”
“IpAddress”=”65.52.17.19”

2. Import the registry again.

3..Now the new ip is listed in SQLServer configuration manager for editing.
Option2

Install the service pack again.

1. After the installatin of Service packs/HotFIx SQLServer recognize the new NIC but
Assings wrong IPaddresses to SQLserver.it makes SQLServer Listen on wrong ip’s and
so the SQLServer might fail to start with error

“Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2007-08-25 00:27:10.83 Server SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread.

Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about
possible related problems.”

2. We can find duplicate IP in SSCM(SQLServer Configuration manager). we can edit
the IP addresses in SQLserver configuration manager to fix right IP and start the SQLServer.
